“Spent an unforgettable honeymoon trip in the safari.”
It will definitely come again! As for the offshore projects, except for Manta, which is too early to operate, the others are great; I recommend fishing, which is cheaper than residential islands! The snorkeling environment around the entire island is fantastic, where we saw sea turtles, dolphins, stingrays, eagle rays, blacktip reef sharks, and nurse sharks, along with a large group of GTs near the restaurant's trench. The lagoon is relatively not as beautiful, but still very pretty! I think the food is delicious! The only downside is that the service personnel seem poorly trained; encountering staff on the way feels unwelcoming, and during busy times, one or two staff members might have a bad attitude. At this price, what more could you ask for? It's a great choice for those who often visit the Maldives!

“Stunning Water Bungalows (Request Rooms 180–184 for Epic Views & Marine Life!)”
Our water bungalow stay at Safari Island Resort was absolutely spectacular! If you are choosing this room tier, I highly recommend requesting rooms 180 through 184.These specific bungalows are uniquely situated so that you can directly view both the sunrise and sunset right from your room. The snorkeling directly in front of these villas is incredible. Right from our water villa staircase, we managed to see an amazing variety of marine life, including turtles, reef sharks, stingrays, and even jellyfish. It felt like living on top of a natural aquarium. The bungalow itself was beautiful, peaceful, and provided the ultimate Maldivian overwater experience. I highly recommend these specific rooms to anyone visiting the resort!

Beyond the beautiful beaches and the convenience of stepping right into the ocean, what really sets this resort apart is the incredible hospitality.The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and deeply attentive to every detail, making you feel right at home in paradise. The resort layout is peaceful, the surroundings are breathtaking, and transitioning between bookings was completely seamless. It is a fantastic destination for anyone looking for a classic, stress-free Maldivian getaway. I cannot wait to return to this beautiful island!

“Perfect Beach Bungalows for Snorkeling (Request Rooms 116–130!)”
I had a truly perfect stay at Safari Island Resort! If you are booking a beach bungalow, I highly recommend requesting a room in the 116 to 130 range, as they have the best location on the island.You can walk right off your private deck and head straight into the ocean. While the shallow water immediately in front of the shore is mostly dead coral, you only need to swim about 50 to 60 meters out to reach the drop-off. Once you get past that initial stretch, the main house reef is absolutely spectacular and teeming with vibrant marine life. It is an incredible spot for daily snorkeling right from your doorstep. The bungalows themselves were cozy, exceptionally clean, and offered a wonderful, relaxing island experience.

“Perfect stay, amazing staff!”
Safari Island is a beautiful paradise with stunning views and the most lovely staff. Since the moment we arrived, until our departure, each and every staff we interacted with were so helpful and kind, always smiling. Such beautiful people. The Island itself is quiet and peaceful, perfect for a calm vacation. There are some beautiful snorkelling locations as well. The food was fantastic. Our Honeymoon dinner was exceptional, chef Abilash did an amazing job! Everything is kept so clean and tidy. Room service comes around twice a day. Everything is spotless. The Island is very well looked after. All communications are also very clear, they ensure we have all the information we need for our stay and activities. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! Safari Island is so worth it. We will certainly be coming back!

“Fifth Maldives”
A place with good cost performance. An amazing underwater environment. An all-inclusive place where you have no other worries. A place where you can completely relax. The downside is that there is only one restaurant, so you have to have all your meals in the same place during your stay.

“THEY STEAL MY WEDDING RING!!!!”
ATTENTION TO THE OWNER & TOP MANAGEMENT OF SAFARI ISLAND MALDIVES. What happened to us during our honeymoon at your resort is disturbing and unacceptable. I left my engagement ring and wedding ring inside our villa during checkout. We returned within ONE HOUR, yet the room had already been cleaned and the rings were gone. No courtesy call. No lost-and-found notice. No responsibility. Housekeeping and supervisors denied seeing anything. I cried in front of your staff, begged for help, and asked to speak to a manager—only to be told that if I wanted to call the police, I would have to pay for everything, including the seaplane. That response alone speaks volumes. We left the Maldives just one week after getting married, without the rings that symbolized our marriage. The emotional trauma this caused is irreversible. What makes this worse—and impossible to ignore—I later found clear photos taken INSIDE THE VILLA just before checkout, showing my ring exactly where I pointed it out to your staff. After checkout, ONLY YOUR STAFF HAD ACCESS to that room. This is NOT NORMAL. This is negligence, lack of accountability, and possible misconduct—and what’s more alarming is how easily this was dismissed, as if this kind of incident is routine. I am publicly calling on the OWNER of Safari Island Maldives to intervene and take responsibility. And to future guests: PLEASE BE AWARE. Protect your valuables and think twice. All I am asking for is truth, accountability, and the return of my rings.
